The Office of the State Comptroller filed a $2.7 million claim against Howard Lundy, owner a group of health care facilities in Neptune and Lawrence, who is being accused of submitting thousands of improper Medicaid reimbursement claims, officials said.

According to the Notice of Claim, Lundy is accused of making fraudulent entries on patient medical records to create the false appearance that certain health care services had been provided at one of the facilities during the investigation, said Pete McAleer, a spokesman for Comptroller's Office.
